E720002 on Windows means an ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND error [1] — that's
2L rebased onto the APR_OS_START_SYSERR (720000).

I did a quick peek into the svn_io_remove_file2() function. The fact that
we are receiving the error means that we are getting it from one of the two
apr_file_remove() calls. That's either after an attempt to remove a readonly
attribute or from a retry loop.

The reason why this error is propagated up the stack is that we only examine
the 'ignore_enoent' argument after the first apr_file_remove() call. This is
racy — if we get a EACCES during the first attempt to remove a file, and the
file is simultaneously removed from the disk, the next attempt to remove it
would fail with a ENOENT, even with 'ignore_enoent'. I think we should
fix this by suppressing ENOENTs from every apr_file_remove() call, not
just the first one.

I am not sure about the reason why we are receiving an EACCES for the
/db/rev-prop-atomics.shm in the destination filesystem. Hotcopy is
non-incremental, and revprop caching got disabled in 1.8.11, so the file
should not be in the destination. Hence an attempt to blow it away with
the cleanup_revprop_namespace() call should be a no-op (I suspect that we
could completely drop this call, but that's another story). It might be
a NAS-specific behavior, but this is just a random guess.
